Japanese Fried Rice – チャーハン

This is another free & easy recipe to share. Japanese fried rice or “CyaHan” is the dish that I love very much. Every time, when there is leftover rice available, I won’t miss the chance to cook a plate of CyaHan. From the very beginning experience to cook a simple fried rice, I really had hard time to satisfy myself. I used the freshly steamed rise to stir in the pan and started to create my own version of fried rice. The rice was too wet & sticky, even though I stirred it quickly. But, it won’t stop me to keep trying. Soon, I realised that leftover rice is more suitable. Another point is to use high heat and the movement to stir the rice needs to be fast to avoid overheating or turn black. Eventually, my cooking skill improved from failures.

Ingredients: (2 servings)

  • 2 cups of cooked Japanese rice (* left-over rice preferred)
  • 2 eggs
  • 50g diced pork
  • 2 tsp salad oil
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 10cm onion, 10cm carrot, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Preparation:

Put the pan on high heat with salad oil. Add in pork with vegetables, cook until soft. Put eggs into heated pan and scramble it quickly. Add rice and stir well. Turn heat to medium; stir in chicken bouillon, garlic salt, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Lastly, add in sesame oil and serve.


Point: Always use high heat to fry.
